Jason Whitlock blasts "delusional" Michael Oher over petition against Tuohy family - "He's telling an obvious lie"

Jason Whitlock took aim at Michael Oher for bringing a lawsuit against the Tuohy family. The opinionated host feels that in the he-said-she-said between the former NFL player and his adopted family, it was the latter who was telling the truth.

Jason Whitlock went so far as to say that the reason the media is going along with this is because the former Super Bowl winner is black, whereas his family is not.

“What he’s doing to the Tuohy family is despicable... He’s telling an obvious lie he knows most of the media will be too afraid to question because he’s black. Plus, the media is lazy. It’s easier to repeat Oher’s allegations than to question and/or research the legitimacy of them."

The commentator also made it clear that he believed the Tuohys' story that it was a shakedown for a financial windfall and not about them putting him in conservatorship and profiting off Oher's name, as the player has alleged.

“Why on Earth is Michael Oher pretending he only recently discovered the Tuohy family didn’t adopt him? Why are members of the media going along with Oher’s effort to shakedown the Tuohy family for cash under the pretense that they lied to, and exploited him, for profit?”

Whitlock also went on to call Oher "delusional" and insinuated he was ungrateful to the Tuohys.

“Michael Oher is so arrogant and delusional that he believes his natural intellect would have developed regardless of circumstances. It’s a naïve worldview. He’s still naïve. He believes this desperate attempt to shake down the family that welcomed him into their home is a good look, and is going to lead to a financial windfall. It’s not.”

Jason Whitlock bases his theory on Tuohy family's worth separate from Michael Oher

Jason Whitlock added that he believed the Tuohys because they were independently wealthy and brushed off any suggestions that earning more money when you are already rich could be a motivation.

“The Tuohys were wealthy when they took legal guardianship of Oher. They sold their family business for $200 million. They had no financial motive to exploit Oher.”

He concluded by lambasting Oher and calling him broken.

“Their side makes perfect sense. Here’s the deal that everybody’s gonna have to come to grips with: Michael Oher is every bit as emotionally broken as the first day as an overgrown teenager that he slept on the Tuohys’ couch.”

Jason Whitlock has never been one to shy away from controversy and despite potential legal wranglings to follow, it seems he has already made up his mind about who is right in this matter.
